Welcome to Litsy!

Book no 1 from my #10beforetheend picks.

This was gearing up to be a pick but I found a couple of the latter chapters sketchy and sadly lacking. Still enjoyed the earlier chapters on media moguls which is clearly where O'Brien has the most knowledge and experience

Starting a bit of non fiction... Not expecting any new revelations I wasn't aware of but sure having it synthesised into one place is going to get me #raging

Part of my #10beforetheend list so I may be a little early but wanting some non fiction on #kindle today, as it is so dark and dreary here today.

For me, Ali Smith's books try too hard to be too many things, making each aspect feel dilute.

There are moments of genius throughout Autumn, but the structure is so ad hoc, that we lose impact.

We have a neighbourly love story, some unsubtle thoughts about Brexit and bureaucracy that resonate (albeit in a heavy-handed way), and some info about Pauline Boty.

All very interesting, but the lack of cohesiveness in the narrative frustrated me.

I am not a fan of the Johnson family but a friend gave me this to read and I felt I had to at least try and read it ! I then found myself in a position where I thoroughly enjoyed it and couldn‘t put it down ! I was not expecting that …. It‘s sort of a spoof on the 2016 Brexit referendum, Russian involvement and USA presidential election - very close to the bone at times and fascinating reading .

I just love the leaves 🍁 and this book is perfect 😍

She likes to read, she reads all the time, and she prefers to be reading several things at once, she says it gives endless perspective and dimension.

I love going apple picking and sitting around the fire pit.
Meh. 😐

A good'un! I do love Ali Smith. I'm definitely going to read Winter and Summer (already read Spring) at some point😊

Thanks for the tag! @ravenlee 😊💕

- I would say Autumn is a brief hiatus! A magical, yummy-smelling time where I get to wear jumpers and take bracing walks, before the excitement of Christmas. It's a time to cling on to, knowing that I'm soon going to have to survive January-March 😵

- I hope to become an Auntie 😇

Also, I started a journey of self improvement about a week ago and I am already feeling improved 😁
